Pax Americana & Bretton Woods: a regime-change precedent
— Baron Mayor Amschel Rothschild
For more nearly five centuries, ever since European expansionism began
c. 1492, the world order could be described as competitive imperialism:
European powers competing over colonial and economic territories. The
various wars between European powers were one expression of this
competition. Wars would arise periodically, when one power felt it could
expand its imperial realms at the expense of another.
A radically different world order was established after Word War 2, based on the Bretton Woods institutions (UN, IMF, World Bank, ...), the dissolution of separate European empires, and Pax Americana. This new world system can be described as collective imperialism, with the Pentagon acting as imperial enforcer in the 'Free World' on behalf of Western capital generally. This new global regime opened the way for the greatest growth period in history, while at the same time removing the motivation for wars among European powers.
This paradigm shift in systems did not just happen: it was the outcome of a project. The new postwar paradigm was designed and planned in a series of meetings, by a handful of people selected from the Council on Foreign Relations, at the invitation of President Roosevelt. The CFR is a policy research & development organization, in service to the central banking cabal: the postwar world order was designed specifically to serve the interests of those central bankers.
The new regime came with a PR mythology: imperialism was dying; the nations of the world were being liberated; democracy was spreading; economic development would raise everyone's standard of living.
The reality was different: imperialism was being pursued more efficiently and systematically; nations were freed of colonial rule, but were still subject to destabilization and intervention if they didn't cooperate with Western corporate interests; democracy was the exception rather than the rule in the newly independent nations; widespread economic exploitation and poverty continued, much as under colonialism.
This postwar growth era became a victim of its own success in pursuing economic development. It was so effective, and so global in its reach, that it finally began to run into hard environmental constraints. By the 1970s it became clear that the postwar growth machine was running out of steam. Not that growth couldn't continue for some time, but the overall return on investments was beginning to decline.

Cycles of boom and bust have always occurred in the history of capitalism. The banking cabal makes money from investments and loans during a growth phase, they engage in looting and short-selling as the growth declines, and they extend their hard-asset ownership portfolios at bargain prices during the bust phase. The postwar growth cycle peaked in the 1970s, neoliberal looting began in the 1980s, and we're now well into the bust phase, with hard assets being grabbed at bargain prices via IMF-mandated privatization.
Always before the bust was temporary. There were always 'new worlds to conquer', some way to launch a new and grander growth cycle. This time, with hard environmental limits being encountered, a new and grander growth cycle just isn't possible.
The post-capitalist regime-change project
"We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order."
— David Rockefeller
No one has been more aware of this final end to the growth-cycle
paradigm than the banking cabal. David Rockefeller himself was the
principal founder of the Club of Rome, which published its Limits to Growth
already in 1972. Ever since then, and even before, plans and
preparations have been in the works for a successor global regime, not
based on growth, but still under the thumb of the bankster cabal.
As described in the first article of this series, 'The Elite Plan for a New World Social Order',
the new global system is to be based on a centralized world government,
managed by already-established bureaucracies, including the UN, the
International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, the World Trade
Organization (WTO), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC).
These bureaucracies will be accountable to the cabal, with no real kind of democratic input. The new order can be characterized as the whole world becoming the private fiefdom of the banking cabal clique, who become the equivalent of an extended global royal family. It's essentially a return to a pre-Enlightenment ancien régime.
As with the postwar regime, the new regime will have a PR mythology, quite different from the reality. We already have many clues about the nature of the new mythology, and the first article outlines what that mythology will probably be like.
As described in the second article of this series, 'The Great Carbon Credit Deception', the new economic paradigm will be based on centrally-micromanaged resource allocations, and this is beginning already with carbon credits. On our finite planet, a resource-based economy makes a great deal of sense, but not one that is centrally managed for the purpose of controlling the people of the world.
The general destruction wreaked by World War 2 'cleared the building site' so that the new postwar world order could be constructed. The cabal is now systematically clearing the building site once again, to enable the construction of the post-capitalist world order.
